“The overall theme is allowing our research and development to hit the market quicker, to allow people's bright ideas to have an impact on the business.”

How did I get started?

I did my undergraduate in chemistry at Loughborough University, along with a placement year at AstraZeneca, the pharmaceutical company. I did my PhD at Bath University in physical chemistry before I found myself working for Shell.

Career progression

I've been able to work on my PhD at the same time as working for Shell. This has let me gain academically whilst also gaining valuable project management experience.
